    Man I really hope we can prove those who are picking us to win correct. I think it heavily relies on the first game. If we come out and win that one then it'll just add more pressure to the Mavs. If we don't then I think some of these people who predicted us in 6 may start to waffle. My main concern is coming in as favorites and getting embarrassed in the first game. I think that might set the tone for the rest of the series.

    I really want us to come out of the gate & pounce on the Mavs in the first game on their homecourt. I'd love to see us demolish them, but in reality I think it's not going to be that easy & we'll get the typical highs and lows like we did during the regular season.

    According to whom? We had the 5th best record in the league that year. We should've won that series.

    We really should have won, having HCA and all. What an awful Game 1 that was. Similar to Game 3 against PHX last year. We really cannot afford to have one of those games this year.

    We are not the same team as last year, sure, most of the same players, but very different team. As of late, the only time we play like shit is when we play bad teams.

    Actually that isn't true. Lately, except for GS, we've kicked bad teams.
